Lord of the mysteries is the best fantasy novel that I have ever read,reading this novel was a rollercoster ride ,the thrill and the suspense that it makes you go through is very adictive.

LOTM(Lord of the mysteries) is very popular ,if your a beginner into the realm of novels then it might be a bit difficult to read this at first but you will eventually fall for the concept of this novel.

1.Lord of the Mysteries

3.Reverend insanity

If you're tired of protagonists always playing the hero or having a hero complex, then RI is just what you need. It features a tough protagonist who doesn't always take the high road or act like the nicest person, but you'll definitely find him interesting.

The novel is elegantly written, but it will give you chills.

This might not be everyone's cup of tea or not the best first read in the fantasy genre, but if you decide to dive in, welcome to the world of madness.

In a world ruled by gu cultivation, where strength is everything and morality is meaningless, one man chooses madness over mediocrity.Fang Yuan, a ruthless and cunning genius, is reborn 500 years into the past with all his memories intact. Armed with his experience, he begins a relentless journey to defy fate itself.

This is not a tale of heroism. There are no noble sacrifices or shining ideals. Fang Yuan is a true villain—cold, calculating, and utterly unyielding in his pursuit of eternal freedom and power.

In a land where humans manipulate magical creatures called "gu" to fight, scheme, and survive, Fang Yuan bends the rules of heaven and earth to carve a path toward immortality.

No gods, no laws, no mercy—only a madman’s will to rise.

Note:RI is banned in some countries and is Gore,R18!!

4.Trash of the counts family

Trash of the Count’s Family is easily in my top 3 fantasy novels.

One of the biggest issues I’ve found with the fantasy genre is how unbalanced some stories are. You’ll get this massive world with great lore, but barely any memorable characters. Or you’ll get a huge cast, but most of them feel flat or underused.But Trash of the Count’s Family? It nails everything.It gives you a huge world (actually, multiple worlds), amazing world-building, and on top of that, a ton of characters who are all well-written, distinct, and genuinely fun to follow. There’s solid backstory, well-paced progression, and a perfect mix of serious moments and humor.

For me, it’s basically the ideal classic fantasy novel—but with a modern, entertaining twist.

Trash of the Count’s Family is about a guy named Cale Henituse who suddenly wakes up inside a fantasy novel—but here’s the twist: he’s not the hero or a main character. He’s actually the “trash” of the noble family, the one everyone looks down on. Instead of trying to be a typical hero, Cale just wants to live comfortably and avoid trouble.But of course, things don’t go as planned. Despite trying to lay low, he ends up getting involved in all sorts of crazy adventures, making powerful friends, fighting dangerous enemies, and uncovering secrets that could change the whole world.It’s a fun mix of comedy, action, and some heartfelt moments, with Cale’s witty and laid-back personality making the story super entertaining. If you like stories where the main character is clever and doesn’t follow the usual “heroic” path, this one’s definitely worth a read!

Note:I highly recommend reading the manhwa first then move to the novel!

5.Tensura(That time I got reincarnated as a slime)

Tensura is undoubtedly one of the best isekai(another world) novels out there,if you want experience very well paced kingdom bulding,a protagonist that grows strong ,and badass action then tensura is the perfect fit for you. here our prtagonist builds a literal army!,with huge war arcs,and intense action with just the perfect amount of comedy makes this a masterpice.

Tensura is extremly popular and has manga as well as anime adaptations.Once you start it,you will be hooked.

At its core, Tensura is an isekai story with a twist. Satoru Mikami dies in the real world and is reborn as a slime a weak monster by RPG standards. But this is no ordinary slime. Thanks to a mysterious voice granting him unique abilities like “Predator” (which lets him absorb and learn the skills of anything he consumes), he quickly becomes one of the most powerful beings in the world.

He takes on the name Rimuru Tempest and what starts as a survival journey soon becomes something much bigger: a peaceful dream of creating a nation where monsters and different races can live together in harmony.

Note:I highly recommend watching the anime first then move to the novel!
